It's shit. Also I can't believe how many people are saying they like this.
Care to elaborate? I personally enjoyed it; it was well made from not only a technical standpoint, but also from a writer's perspective. These guys have taken a world which originally starred an eleven year old child and aged it rather well. Think about it for a second: What kind of eleven year old kid has the time to travel the world and battle to become the "master", while eschewing school, home, and other essentials to life. Even with the suspension of disbelief, it took some getting used to. This is a straight slap to the face to break that disbelief and at the same time stays true to the intentions of the source. Gary is still a pragmatist ass, Team Rocket is still evil, and Ash is still blind to most of whats actually going on around him. It's just all been dialed up a bit.
I for one, welcome this trailer. What makes me sad is that we're never going to see this in production past this point: Nintendo is far too overprotective of their little IP that any non-licensed sort of work, from Pokemon Online to even the use of images from already released games on websites, isn't going to see the light of day. Which is a shame: From what it looks like, one could easily create an entire series of games from this sort of setting alone, albeit with a more "Pokemon Colosseum" feeling to it.
